Today I just could not get the seawater water intake hose off the thru hull, to winterize the toilet. So I had to cut the hose to be able to pump antifreeze from the gallon into the toilet.
Has anyone modified their hose with a ”T” fitting or something else like it to be able to get antifreeze into the pump handle of the toilet?
My thought is if I had a way of connecting a hose to the line I wouldn’t have to remove it from the thru hull. It involved a whole lot of shaking on the thru hull to free the hose and I just didn’t want to do that.
I have enough play in the hose to be able to reattach it to the thru hull, the hose slid off the pump handle side easy enough. I used Super Lube on the hose fittings for just this reason but I guess not enough on the thru hull side.
Thank you for your help and suggestions to make this easier.
By the way, there’s a lot of water in that line and the pump handle itself, so don’t skip this step.
